BILLIONS WASTED IN IRAQ SAYS US AUDIT

Could this be one of several reasons the infrastructure of Iraq is still destroyed?

In the chaos of Iraq, one project is on target: a giant US embassy

The question enrages a city: how is it the Americans cannot keep the electricity running in Baghdad, yet still build the biggest embassy on Earth?
******
Because the US plans a permanent ruling presence there but knows they will need massive defenses against a hostile populace, so all comforts are provided in order than embassy staff will not have to interact very often or very much with the citizens. A small city within a city with all the luxuries of "home".

    Granny, the whole Green Zone concept is a total disgrace!
    they should call it clubmed baghdad. It's like in Seoul Korea! the US set up a base downtown during the korea war AND NEVER LEFT! like with the greenzone, the property annexed by the US military in korea is PRIME DOWNTOWN realestate.
    if i were an iraqi, i'd resent the american presence by now to be sure....
    shame on us.
    p.s. granny, i took off my word verification thing.
